The ‘common-law myth’ leaves many in hardship

According to research conducted by Resolution, the family justice body, two-thirds of cohabiting couples are unaware that ‘common law marriage’ is actually a myth and their rights regarding money, wills, and property are scant. When it comes to will disputes and leaving an inheritance behind, this long-held misunderstanding leaves many bereaved partners out in the cold in what is already an incredibly stressful and sad time in their lives. In unmarried couples, will disputes are extremely complex and in many cases can lead to family arguments and rifts within previously strong family units.
